Thunder And Roses Lyrics - Pam Tillis

Once I had flowers at sunset 

Breakfast in bed 

And I hated myself for what I never felt 

I couldn't love him 

Then I had fire at midnight 

Passion that brought tears to my eyes 

It was like a joke, I couldn't get enough 

But he didn't love me 

I want to know why I can't have both 

Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul 

Something I can trust, but I can't control 

All I need is someone who brings me 

Thunder and roses 

I want to be safe and warm 

In a beautiful storm 

With somebody who shakes me 

And knows how to take me away from this world 

Candies that burn all night 

A lover that looks into my eyes 

A man who loves me 

And knows how to touch me everywhere 

I want to know why I can't have both 

Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul 

Something I can trust, but I can't control 

All I need is someone who brings me 

Thunder and roses
